The Pride in Public Service award has been developed to recognize on-the-job contributions of City individual andteams of employees to encourage and empower employees to work to the fullest extent of their capabilities. To receive it is to know that your work made a difference to the people of Healdsburg – an achievement of which an employee can be proud of.

Efforts that go beyond the scope of responsibilities and job requirements qualify. Demonstration of efficiency, creativity, a high level of service or performance in an outstanding manner. If the nominator feels that an individual or group went beyond what is required then that individual or group can be nominated.

Nominations can be made throughout the year by any member of the public, employee, volunteer, contract employee, appointed or elected official on the nomination form. The nomination must provide factual information and be specific about what makes the nominee(s) outstanding.

Go to the Employee Recognition Program for online nomination forms or they are available in all City departments. If you are a member of the public and would like to nominate an employee, please call 707-431-3322 for a copy of the form.

There is an Employee Recognition Committee who shall select for a one year term of service. The committee will meet to review the nominations and make a recommendation to the City Manager for review prior to presentation of the award.
